| The
ministry of Religious Education encompasses the religious development
and formation of all of the children of St. Hugh's Parish Communion.
Although our largest area of concern is providing religious instruction
for children attending non-Catholic schools, we sponsor many events
that are open to all children and their parents.
Catechists Needed:
Our religious education classes run
from the end of September until the end of April. We will need
catechists for all days and
catechesis levels. In particular, we need catechists who are willing to
instruct children preparing for the sacraments of Holy Eucharist and
Confirmation.
Contact Us
During the school year the office is open Monday
through Thursday; phone number is 271-6081, or e-mail reled@sthugh.org .
Attention
Parents of Confirmation Candidates:
There will be special meetings that parents and
candidates must attend as part of the requirements for the Sacrament of
Confirmation.
Opportunities for Community Service for
Confirmation Candidates:
1. Be a catechist assistant or help with office work. Call the
Religious Ed Office (271-6081) or reled@sthugh.org
2. Helping the youth minister.
3. Helping the St. Vincent de Paul Society during Thanksgiving and
Christmas times.
Program Design
Our catechetical program is designed to meet
the needs of every child, with or without previous catechesis. It is a
seven-year program and children should be enrolled when they begin the First Grade.
Since many children are enrolled after the First Grade
with little or no catechesis, our program is divided into catechesis
levels rather than grades as follows:
- Communion 1
- Communion 2
- Christian Witness 1
- Christian Witness 2
- Christian Witness 3
- Confirmation 1
- Confirmation 2 (September
through January)
- Confirmation 3 (January
through the reception of the Sacrament)
Children entering our program after
the First Grade are placed in age appropriate catechesis levels and
provided with preparatory instruction and formation for Sacraments.
Classes
Program classes are held both on site in the
Parish Center. On site classes for all
instructional levels meet as follows:
- Sunday 10:00 to 11:15 AM
- Monday: 4:15 to 5:30 PM
- Tuesday: 4:15 to 5:30 PM
- Wednesday: 4:15 to 5:30 PM
Catechists
Our catechists are faith-filled persons from
all walks of life. Many of them are parents with children enrolled in
our program. They have opened their hearts to share their
faith with the children of St. Hugh's Parish.
If you wish to volunteer to be a catechist in our program at any time
during the year, please
contact the Religious Education Office for details.
Registration
Registration for our program is held in June;
late registration in September. There is an additional fee for late
registrants.
Any family
wishing to enroll their children in our program must be
registered members of St. Hugh of Lincoln Parish. We require a copy of
the child's Baptismal Certificate for first time registrants. No
child may enter class if we do not have a parish number or a Baptismal
Certificate.
